Larry needs to score 33 points in the last game to have an average of 25 PPG.

To find the answer, we can solve the equation:

\frac{(4)23+p}{5}=25

<em />(where <em>p</em> is how many points he needs to score in the last game)

To find the mean of a group of numbers, you add them all up and divide the total by the number of numbers there are. Since Larry averaged 23 PPG in 4 games, we can multiply 23 by 4 to get the total of the first 4 games from the data. Then, we find <em>p</em>, which we will add to get our final total. Then, you divide by the 5 games.

\frac{(4)23+p}{5}=25
\frac{92+p}{5}=25
{92+p}=125
p=33

First, I simplified 4 x 23 to get 92. Then, I multiplied each side by 5 to get rid of the denominator. Finally, I subtracted 92 from each side to isolate <em>p</em>, and found that <em>p</em> = 33.

Answer:

Multiply 5 by 25 to find the total points Larry needs to score in 5 games. 5 x 25 = 125. Then find the total points Larry scored in the first 4 games. 4 x 23 = 92. Subtract to find the number of points Larry needs to score in the fifth game. 125 – 92 = 33 points. Larry needs to score 33 points in the last game.

Vladimir [108]

Answer:

$5 and $3

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of banana split = b

Cost of hot fudge sundae = s

  • b + 2s = 11
  • 4b + 3s = 29

<u>From the first equation we get: </u>

  • b = 11 - 2s

<u>Replacing in the second equation:</u>

  • 4(11 - 2s) + 3s = 29
  • 44 - 8s + 3s = 29
  • 44 - 29 = 5s
  • 15 = 5s
  • s = 15/5
  • s = 3

Then

  • b = 11 - 2*3 = 11 - 6 = 5

So banana split costs $5 and hot fudge sundae costs $3
